Bitter old dyke. I like 4X gaming, science fiction and fantasy, and animals of all kinds. People kind of piss me off.

Seems legit.... We don't want to be a nation of underachieving Americans.

Worst. Episode. EVER.

Heroin addict and steroid abuser wants the rest of us to to make as smart decisions about our health as he has.

I wish I started my day with this amount of pep!

US threatens to shut off Starlink if Ukraine doesn’t sign minerals deal. Starlink is essential for Ukraine’s battlefield comms. This is the equivalent of FDR threatening to arm the Nazis if Europe didn’t sign over half its resources. Extortion. And utterly unforgivable. Hell awaits.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

The 'find out' phase is here.

hello world, 15 mins old

Ex-NFL player Chris Kluwe was arrested during a Huntington Beach City Council meeting after protesting a proposed 'MAGA plaque' outside the city library. Kluwe approached the dais to "engage in the … tradition of peaceful civil disobedience." He was then arrested. www.latimes.com/socal/daily-...

After jeopardising airline safety, food safety, disease protection, foreign aid & nuclear safety, today Elon Musk starts on his new target: Removing the people who warn communities of incoming hurricanes. If Russia wanted to kill Americans, it would invent DOGE. Or maybe it did.

It’s a conundrum. 🤷‍♂️

They don't want to teach history so they can repeat it.

Marjorie Taylor Greene tried to have Pete Buttigieg's salary reduced to $1 in November 2023. Does she think Sean Duffy should keep his job if planes can't manage to stay in the sky?

RFK Jr. thinks that a clinical trial should be done for the entire childhood vaccine schedule. Here’s why that will never happen. 1. You can’t do a randomized trial of something that we already know is safe and effective. There would have to be a placebo group that didn’t get vaxxed. Unethical.

Welcome back, Cathy.

Bernie Sanders: "We're not only dealing with a move toward authoritarianism, we're dealing with what is new to America -- politicians have always lied, nothing new about that. But the level that we're seeing right now. The big lie, over and over again ... "

That’s how you write a headline, people.

i will become a total shill for whichever politician decides to become the joe mccarthy of rooting out silicon valley ideology and influence

Ok that made me laugh

AP is banned from WH events and all the other legacy journalists walk right in. If this was the 60s, we know who would have been with the Freedom Riders, and who would’ve been writing about them from a safe place. AP stands alone. Sad but true.

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

Oh, look what normal countries do when a former president leads a far right coup attempt.

I am part of the 25%. The lifestyle change is worth it. This is the way…

Correct. This is a President of the United States declaring himself a dictator. And instead of Americans understanding that we’re now under imminent threat of martial law and tyranny, we’ll get a month of think pieces about what the President of the United States meant by his UNAMBIGUOUS statement.

No surprises here: “While the immense cuts are framed as a means of removing waste, they may also become a boon to private companies – including Musk’s own businesses “ www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

The greatest business battle EVER to be fought will come when President Elon starts trying to implement AI for federal processes. The battle will be fought over which company’s AI will be used by the feds. This is a zero sum battle that will create more chaos than this country has ever seen

Don’t buy stuff on February 28. Money’s the only thing these dicks understand. #resist

This is so smart. @petebuttigieg.bsky.social , thoughts ? And if you see this. A reminder. This is not Twitter. You can engage here and have thoughtful discussions ! We all look forward to reading your thoughts

Maybe he thinks they'll go work in the fields, replacing all the migrant farm workers?

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

NEW: A moment in Munich. Zelenskyy says Russia is creating 15 new divisions of 150,000 soldiers: "Maybe these soldiers are for Ukraine. Maybe they are for you.” He ends hoping for peace. A long, standing ovation. What a contrast to Vance, met with silence as he torched transatlantic relations.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

“I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.”

What $400 million? I didn't see any contract.

Love it!

If you support any of this, you’re honestly just a terrible person. People’s lives are being upended and destroyed. For every 1% increase in unemployment, 40,000 people die—yet some are celebrating.

REPOST if you support our federal workforce and know how dedicated they are to their jobs. Show them you appreciate them!

Concerning.

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

“MaYbe shE’s goiNg to be in TroUble nOw” Maybe he can learn to read. The Constitution would be a good place to start

The 7 pillars of democracy are under pressure in the U.S. & abroad Without action, democracy erodes But there is hope! I discuss this & more on @brookings.edu’s The Current –TN www.brookings.edu/articles/a-p...
